Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Slams Simmons, Talks Lomachenko

[PainfromUkraine]

Its clear as day that Rigondeaux is lightyears ahead of this kid and Lomachenko's amateur record is better based on what exactly but a mere number? Rigo accomplished everything this kid did & 7 Cuban national titles, 2 golds in the IBA world cup too boot and against vastly superior competition.

Rigondeaux was destroying guys like Gamboa, Tsujimoto, Malakbeckov, Kovalev, Petchkoom, Mammadov etc etc

The kids noway near Rigondeaux's level and frankly never will be & if they ever do meet, expect Lomachenko to get his ass handed too him.

People was claiming Rigondeaux was nothing more than an impressive amateur but this kid really is just that. He won't cut it in the pros. I wouldn't even be so sure the kid gets past Salido.
I don't think hes anything special anyway. Hyped up via an impressive numerical statistic rather than his actual ability.

So, it's possible to get to 396-1, win olympic golds, world championships, european championships, undefeated in WSB and winning a pro debut by KO with a fringe contender who has never been stopped etc, fighting everyone in front of you by hype and without actual ability?


BTW guys, check out my thread on Lomachenko's new interview from the Big Bear camp talking about Salido and much more, if you havn't yet seen it.

Complete nonsense, You need to watch some more footage or something?

Rigo is pure rhythm. Like an expensive, elegant timepiece that never misses a beat.

The only person on earth that has the skills and brain to upset that is Vasyl lomachenko.

Whatever you think you know, you don't.

im unsure about how great lomochenko will be as a pro, especially in his first few fights fighting guys like salido,

but i do trust Top Rank's match making ability, they have proven that over the years they can guide talent to the top.. So if TR thinks lomo is ready for the likes of salido, then i see no reason to doubt them.. Obviously they are not as high on Zhou, hence why he is slowly being brought along

Your nonsense has already been responded to, and you ignored it. Savon & Stevenson both fought Amateur their entire careers, so no wonder they have better Amateur records.

You are the one adding to the article of the writer. He didn't say your argument, you did. If you read my previous posts are referring his article not your post. The nonsense is your answer, comparing apple with carrots. With their records for sure Rigo and Lomachenko will never be the best amateurs in history, because as you said, they turned pro before having numbers like Savon or Stevenson.

Why are so many hating on Loma??? Kid is clearly gifted and obviously very good at what he does, you don't become a double Olympic champion via a fluke.

I'm not jumping on any hype trains, I never do but come on, Loma has shown class, skills and natural gifts. Can he beat Salido in only his second fight? I'm not sure, he will never have been hit as hard as he will be. I think Salido has a slight advantage but if Loma pulls it off, we gotta give him his dues in the pros.

All said & done all Frank Warren wants to do is line his own pockets! If he thought more of his apprentice's then he would have them fight aboard more often!!........
